[cornishman]

as title i currently have lee scales but would like something a bit more refined,what do you boys reccomend/why and has anyone got any good ones for sale?
thanks.

Just how refined can a Beam Scale be?
I have a Lyman Model 500 which was formerly known as the D-7
which you can have for £25.00 plus postage.
I think they are advertised with a picture in Gunmart by The Sportsman Gun Centre or a Google search will give you the details.

RCBS 1010 are great, I have a set, think they were around 115 quid from reloading solutions, top quality.

I've tried Lee, RCBS, Frankford Arsenal & Redding scales.
The Redding are the only ones I've kept.

I have had lee ones and could not get on with them, I'm too cack handed for them.

Got some 5-0-5s which have been great.

RCBC or Ohaus 1010 are about the best. The Redding Model 2 is very good

5-0-5s were my fallback when the digis went up the spout.
10-0-10s are superb, but in most cases overkill unless you are weighing the big loads.
The cheap redding ones were also very nice.
Most beam scales seem to work well, the Lee ones are the only ones that drove me to violence. They may be accurate, but you can boil a kettle and drink the tea before they settle down.

The 1010's and the Redding No2 have magnetic dampening which speeds things up considerably
